What are some of the "unwritten rules" of softball?

[Rolling Hard]

I will add an addendum to this for DD's team: If the game was lost expect the meeting to last at least as long as it took to play the actual game

One I haven't ever seen in FP (at least that I can remember) but was unwritten rule in my youth.

If a runner is on base and a 3rd out is made, a team mate "pick them up" by having their glove/visor/hat ready for them to take the field.

Not sure why this practice has gone the way of the dodo.

Often see teams where one of the infielders collects and stacks infields gloves
(outfielder does outfield gloves)
So when they go out on the field teammates on base will have their glove handed to them.

Although with helmets at bat and visors/hats on the field...
Runners comming off the bases may need to husle into the duggout for a moment for a change of other gear.

Unwritten rules how about....
Arguing with the umpire can work against you.
Or
Giving the batter a free ride to 1st can work against you.

When (very few times if any) your lefty slapper gets a double the EVO shield must be thrown in dramatic fashion to the first base coach.

Yes! Behind the back toss or a drop kick!

 

[The Man In Blue]

When (very few times if any) your lefty slapper gets a double the EVO shield must be thrown in dramatic fashion to the first base coach.

At which point it travels 10 feet and falls to the ground, prompting me to “have” to call time while either the base coach or runner has to go retrieve it.

When you’ve played the your last game of the tournament, offer the team next in the dugout your leftover water and Gatorade. If they don’t take it, carry it out and find a team warming up. Offer it to them.

Don’t be THAT parent and only cheer for your kid, especially when you’re sitting among the other parents and they all cheer for yours.

And DON'T be THAT parent who yells at other players on DD's team, just yell at your own kid, don't yell at mine.

 

[Vertigo]

And DON'T be THAT parent who yells at other players on DD's team, just tell at your own kid, don't tell at mine.

Ha! It’s typically the same parent.....
